"Understanding Organization Through Culture and Structure:
Relational and Other Lessons From the African American
Organization" presents an innovative view of organizations and the
communication processes that constitute them. Arguing that human
beings are communicatively embedded in their cultures, Anne Maydan
Nicotera and Marcia J. Clinkscales, working with Felicia R. Walker,
examine issues concerning task and relational orientations and the
ways they and other cultural dimensions connect with organizational
structure and function for predominantly African American
organizations. Utilizing the results of their own research on
organizations, they develop a set of humanistically-based models
that illustrate how hidden cultural processes suffuse
organizational life and are manifest through communication.
Emphasizing the development of alternative theories and models of
organizing which are rooted in African-American culture, such as
team-based versus hierarchy-based interactions, this book explores
such organizational functions as leadership and management, power,
authority and control, communication and interpersonal dynamics,
and cultural identity and human development. Applying their
findings in a broader analysis of contemporary practices in
organizational restructuring, the authors present research that
serves as the foundation for generating several emergent models
with significant implications for organizational systems.
"Understanding Organization Through Culture and Structure"
stimulates and inspires current researchers of organizational
communication, and is certain to raise greater awareness of the
operation of culture in organizing. The text is intended for
scholars and students in organizational communication, management,
organizational psychology, African studies, and related
areas.
